Tb is a bacteria, not a virus. I would say that is possible, but not likely. Unless they are actively coughing up phlegm, they probably aren't releasing many bacteria. Still, the infectious dose is very, very low. Most people infected with Tb never have symptoms or develop any disease for their entire lives
